I`ll just kind of ignore the number issue....
300,000 is alright. It just depends on what kind of life you want to live. Decent apartment, frequent eating out, and a car in Tokyo... And you`ll be lucky to survive at all, let alone save. Cheap apartment, transportation costs paid by the company with no car, mostly cooking at home, and living in a smaller city or suburb type area - you will probably be able to save at least 100,000/month. A single person, living at the very minimum can get by on a bit less than 100,000/month. But that life would be nowhere near comfortable. Either way, I would say ditch the car idea if you want to save.

Just curious: you are lucky enough to find an English speaking site where people who answer live in Japan and you post your salary via an exotic and confusing Indian system? Come back on Earth...
Regarding the 300,000Yen (or 30万円 if you need to show off), this is what you may expect - 80,000 for the (cheap and small) apartment rent, including Internet, electricity, water, gas... - 10,000 for extra transportation if you can stand living near Rakuten and go to the office by bicycle, then travel reasonably by train with rare extras to Kyoto [*unless Rakuten covers transportation fees home-office ] - 90,000 for the food and drinks - don't expect to survive long the Matsuya and fast-food / bento daily. Food can be pretty cheap in restaurants, but as a gaijin you want extras. OTOH, strange enough, diy food can become pretty expensive. (A lot of "Office Ladies" are paid ~180,000Yen a month, live 2h from work, eat bento all the time, and do extras once/twice a year max. Believe me, you don't want that life style.) The rest - 100,000Yen in theory unless you have to pay taxes - could be saved? I bet you won't save much...

Or when you say: here's to international standards - you mean let's use the Indian one all over the word?

after going through all the replies I am sure that if I want to have fun + maintain a car then I won't be able to save much.
So I need to think over the offer and join some company in India. If I get that much money for a job in India I am sure that I would easily save 50% and live a luxurious life here. (with a car.."ya the roads are a bit poor".. and a big 3BHK flat in a good society). as far as the number system is concerned, I donno why the hell they started a new system. I would prefer to use the International system from now. I never used it earlier coz I never needed it before. Thanks to everyone for the help.
